- This event has passed.
To mark the launch of Reinvent Yourself: Psychological insights that will transform your work life Dr Susan Kahn will give a session on metamorphosis and embracing your reinvention.
This event will introduce some core psychoanalytic concepts that inform our attempts to reinvent ourselves. Freud’s own topography and development of thinking and theory provide the canvas for transition. Although Reinvent Yourself is aimed at work life, all kinds of change can be considered through the ideas explored.
The session will give participants time to think and pause.
We will visit:
· Freud’s work ‘On Transience’, which remains poignant and relevant in 2024;
· Ways of gaining a deeper understanding of self; a conscious and below the surface examination;
· And peer inside your minds and consider the work linking neuroscience and psychoanalysis.
This event will give you an opportunity to consider your own relationship to work, your sense of being stuck, your curiosity and your capacity to reinvent.
